Scrap the Clutter

Ok- so I've been slacking on the scrapbooking lately. Third grade has been a lot of work! Since I haven't had much time to scrap, my scrapbook/craft area has turned into a "Let's pile stuff here" area.

Kerry and I bought the LACK floating shelves from IKEA in the summer. I like the shelves, but they aren't very sturdy, so I didn't put much on them...until last week when we bought 4 EKBY STODIS brackets at $.50 a pop !

I did a little rearranging of my table and scrapbook storage boxes and voila ! Organized scrapbook/craft area !

I made these curtains a couple of years ago as a
cute way to hide some of my craft materials.

Now you can Do It Yourself Too !

A Tisket. A Tasket. A Wall Full of Baskets

Soo...after my new found obsession with Pinterest started, I came across this wonderful idea for small bathroom storage . Our upstairs "guest" bathroom doesn't have a lot of storage space, our sink is narrow with little cabinet space, and I'm not very in to the shelf/cabinet over the toilet idea. So I was thrilled when I saw this picture. I love baskets because they are a versatile way to store anything and they look good doing it. I was also excited because the current towel bar over the toilet was not centered, which really bothered me, so now I had an excuse to take it down. For the project: Tools Needed: Screw Driver Drill Putty knife (if needed) Paint roller (if needed) Paint tray (if needed) Level Measuring tape Pencil Materials Needed: Towel Bars Baskets Something to attach baskets to bar - I used craft ribbon Spackling (if needed) Sand paper (if needed) Self-adhesive drywall joint tape (if needed) Primer...

Fallin' For Tulle Wreaths

Pinterest is at it again. While browsing Pinterest during my daily hourly look through, I found this pretty fall wreath : Since it is on Etsy, I started to look for an online tutorial on how to make a tulle wreath. I've never seen one before, so I wasn't sure where to start. Google makes searching for things so easy and I quickly found this tutorial. It was very helpful. I got most of my materials at a store called WOW Outlets in Pennsylvania while visiting my family (yes, another trip to PA). The foam ring is 11" . I originally started with a 12" ring, but felt it was too big. I had almost the whole wreath covered with tulle, didn't like it, and took it apart for the smaller ring. I got some of the tulle at the same store, some at the $1.00 section in JoAnn's, and had some cut from a bolt at JoAnn's. I also purchased some gold ribbon as well. The flower, leaves, and scarecrow are all from fall decorations I had ...

Spring Hanging Towels

I just wanted to share what I started over Easter break and finished yesterday in between church, hunting for Easter baskets, and eating tons of food. My Gram's birthday and my godmother's birthday is in April, so I told them I'd make an Easter hanging towel for them. I had four towels, so I was able to make 8 all together. Only five are shown: Since I last made the shamrock one, I did find out that I can make a buttonhole with my sewing machine. However, I can't find the manual so I still don't know how to use it. So I'm still sewing snaps on the towels like I did here . I did figure out that I can sew the button on at the same time as the snap, so that made it MUCH easier than the first time I did it. I actually like the snaps and will probably keep with it even if when I do figure out how to use it. I gave all of them away as gifts, except for one. I think they turned out just springy :) I hope that you ...
